Oh, Jesus

There’s a story floating around the interwebbings that says “Study shows evolution guided by ‘invisible hand’” or some variation of that. Most of the actual articles take this idea too far.
A study in the University’s School of Psychology sought to explain how turn-taking has evolved across a range of species. The conclusion is that there [...]

Why it’s so easy

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I recognize just how easy it is to understand evolution.
Evolution is the change within populations over time. This change is continuous. Take birds, for instance. They are descended from dinosaurs. Depending on who you ask, you might even hear them referred to as [...]

More interesting fossils than Ida

Ida is a new fossil discovery that has been horribly over-hyped. It is being called “the missing link”. Following sentences usually mention humans. In other words, some articles are crafty and don’t directly say this fossil is important to Homo sapiens. Others are less crafty. All of this non-sense plays right into the hands of [...]

Words from a ‘respected’ theologian

Why we still respect theologians is beyond me. These people are nothing more than literay critics with a very narrow focus. At least this one only seems to have made headlines at a Christian site. On top of that, he actually said some things which aren’t batshit crazy.
“If you understand Christianity or even Theism – [...]

The sad state of science

At least it’s sad among the public. There’s a new survey in Britain that confirms this.
In the survey, 51 per cent of those questioned agreed with the statement that “evolution alone is not enough to explain the complex structures of some living things, so the intervention of a designer is needed at key stages”
A [...]

Artificial molecules

Origins research is beginning to really heat up (hilarious pun intended). One team of researchers is working with RNA (but then again, who isn’t?)
A new molecule that performs the essential function of life – self-replication – could shed light on the origin of all living things.
If that wasn’t enough, the laboratory-born ribonucleic acid (RNA) strand [...]

Dinesh D’Souza is a moron

Let’s just jump right into an article by Dinesh D’Souza.
But of late atheism seems to be losing its scientific confidence. One sign of this is the public advertisements that are appearing in billboards from London to Washington DC. Dawkins helped pay for a London campaign to put signs on city buses saying, “There’s probably no [...]

Darwin Wasn’t Right

Darwin Was Right About How Evolution Can Affect Whole Group
Evolutionary biologists at McGill University have discovered molecular signals that can maintain social harmony in ants by putting constraints on their fertility. Dr. Ehab Abouheif, of McGill’s Department of Biology, and post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Abderrahman Khila, have discovered how evolution has tinkered with the genes of [...]
